I had a joke about the Alaudidae, but it's really just a lark.

Ahem

Okay! Seems like there's some interest in healthy peets! I'll add to this thread as things pop up at work and I go "Oh yeah! That's generally useful!" Let's begin! 👣

I know I typically do humorous (to me, anyway) podiatry typos, but would there be any interest in a thread of general good foot care advice?

Podiatry Typo of the Day: Patient is dong well postoperatively.

Mildly put out that I just handed in a novel with a manticore main character but SURE Reactor just SKEET IT OUT there and tell EVERYBODY

"Why is that man just standing in the road in the middle of the night!? That's dangerous!" 7" x 11" ink on bristol paper

Nightwell is coming. They're belling the squirrels...

Podiatry Typo of the Day: Pimppoint wound to the... We're not going to talk about how many times this happened today...

Immediately thought of "Lexx" (Canadian-German production)!

My experience with Ruffed Grouse is that unlike their “heart attack bird” cousins, the Sharp-tailed Grouse, they just walk around like they own the place (which they do) #birds 🌿

Special bonus content on the preceding blog post: Paleontologist Barbie™ tracking these avian theropods (a.k.a. "wild turkeys") across the dunes of Cumberland Island GA, once again showing why she's not a doll, she's an action figure. 🧪🦃🐾🦖

Just in case my U.S. followers need to track down a turkey for Thanksgiving, here's a helpful guide in a November 2012 blog post by Yours Truly, with insights on the behavioral ecology of wild turkeys on a Georgia-coast barrier island (Cumberland). 🧪🦃🐾 www.georgialifetraces.com/2012/11/20/t...

Time to start the betting pool on how long my new fancy mug/holiday gift will survive my general Me-ness of being the reason I can't have nice things. This is officially Day 2 of Mug Watch.

WISDOM IS BACK!!!

Good morning! 🪶

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.

A crime was just committed in my presence: on turning away after making a purchase, I saw a customer was wearing a cat-carrier backpack and I WAS NOT INTRODUCED TO THE CAT.

Needing to be perky for seven hours worth of farmer's market today!

Me seeing Rich on the couch this morning: What's up? R: That guy was foul-farting so much that he gassed me out of the room. The Guy:

This is all that can be expected of me today, as I woke hourly last night like it was my job, half from Mr. Man, the other half from my brain performing nocturnal contortions.

Do you ever just stop and take a moment to think just how weird it is that we live on the same planet as snails?

we're snailposting, post your snails

Hey, did our 📌 disappear?

A whole shoal of goldfish have made their way over to www.palaeoplushies.com These cute carp won't grow too big for your cuddles, and unlike the real thing they don't need a pond (or a real big tank) to be happy.

The deep purring, snoring sleep of a cat who had both shrimp and salmon from our sushi feed tonight.

Here's the Spotted Lanterfly #BirdGlamour video that I posted on TikTok! 🪲 🧪 🐡

Do you think AI sucks? Congrats, you are correct! Proclaim it loudly with analog watercolor art www.etsy.com/shop/artolog...

Coming through! Important ptarmigan stuff to do! #birds 🌿

#BirdGlamour says BOO! this Halloween with the Spotted Lanterfly! Calling southeast Asia home, these planthoppers were first noted in Philadelphia in 2014! Populations are checked by parasitic wasps in southeast Asia but are an invasive species in N.A., going after agriculture and lumber crops. 🐞

Watching Ghost TV while precharting and Holy Corvids, the all-ladies ghost hunting teams are refreshing AF. There's none of that toxic "Fight me ghost bro!" attitude, they respect each other, and no "I'm going to act like a necrotic skin flap to everyone and just say I'm possessed" nonsense.

I am VERY excited to post tomorrow's Halloween Glam! The Glam rust has been officially scraped off!

Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate. Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

Thanatotheristes is a late Cretaceous tyrannosaur whose name means 'Reaper of death.' I couldn't help this image of it in Grim Reaper guise popping into my head. Brown pencil on plain notebook paper, 125 × 190 mm, 2020. #Halloween #Samhain

The clocks turn back this weekend...Ash does not do these silly human time changes.

Neighbor friend had a whole bunch of hot peppers that they wanted taken off of their hands. I guess I can find something to do with them...

I'm working on my next edition of my small monthly newsletter. It's the best way to follow my work given all the chaos of the internet these days buttondown.com/rosemarymosco

Fat Squirrel Week #TheInternetNeedsSquirrels @ratatosk.bsky.social www.2news.com/video/fat-sq...

I really think we should do a whole series about facts like this: Have you noticed that poison ivy seems worse and itchier? It's not your imagination. It's Climate Change. grist.org/climate/clim...

Musings on my last repost and as an avid horror movie watcher: 1. "Demons" in the sense of a fundamental fanatic western Christian lens view in movies, are the enemy of the patriarchy. 2. The "possessed" are typically women & children who start out by not obeying, and eschewing tradition...

This Halloween, I explore how Riley Gaines exploits horror movie tropes to literally demonize trans people. Yep, literally. Gaines and her allies call trans people actual demons. And Gaines positions herself as the helpless child victim of the demons. www.salon.com/2025/10/27/h...

Serving some sort of face for my tarot booth at the Spooktackular Farmer's Market today!

I don't know if it's a thing or not, but I think we need #FerruginousFriday . It's time for the ferruginous hawks to start showing up down here and I miss them terribly. 🪶

Another one to add to the Music Stim List! youtu.be/ui8kUKuLBaU?...

FINALLY planning a Very Scary (ecology-speaking) Glam for the Halloween weekend!
